Background

In April 2015, the alternate reality game Samurai Facing the Past: The machinations in the Psi'gahara Field (過去向く士（さむらい）・Ψ（プシー）ヶ原の策謀, Kako Muku Samurai – Pushī'gahara no sakubō) was started on Hirasawa's website. It segued into the story of the album's Interactive Live Show concerts held a week after the album's release.
